Happiness
Chasing Shadows of Happiness: A Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Oh isn't it strange
Expressing curiosity or surprise about a particular situation or concept.
How happiness has many a face
Noting the diverse forms happiness can take, suggesting its subjective nature.
I said who
Prompting a question about identity and self-awareness.
Who am I today
Continuation of self-reflection, questioning the current state of being.
Am I a he done who done gone and get some
Pondering past actions and their consequences, possibly with a sense of regret.
Laying on my back
Describing a relaxed physical position, possibly indicating contemplation.
I'm gonna eat my fill
Expressing a desire to indulge without restraint.
And never look back
Committing to a carefree attitude and avoiding retrospection.
Oh isn't it strange
Reiterating the peculiarity of happiness, now hinting at its fleeting nature.
Now happiness is slipping away
Observing the departure of happiness, possibly with a sense of loss.
And who
Repeating the question of self-identity in the context of changing emotions.
Who am I today
Continuing the exploration of identity, suggesting variability.
Am I a tea bag prophet with nothing in my pocket
Depicting a state of uncertainty, likening oneself to a prophet with empty resources.
Because I gave it all away
Reflecting on past actions of generosity or sacrifice, possibly with consequences.
I would end my night with a sunrise
Expressing a preference for concluding the day with a positive and hopeful note.
Any given day
Highlighting the unpredictability of life on any given day.
Oh no yesterday is gone
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of the past and the challenges faced.
It's been a long week for me to be strong
Describing a challenging week, emphasizing the need for strength.
Maybe tomorrow well so it goes
Expressing uncertainty about the future, acknowledging the transient nature of life.
If I'm not high
Indicating a possible dependence on altered states of consciousness for emotional balance.
You know I'm way too low
Acknowledging emotional lows when not in an altered state.
Oh isn't it strange
Observing the oddity of feeling confined and mentally disturbed.
To be caged and deranged
Highlighting the paradoxical nature of feeling captive and mentally unwell.
From the ways in which we come
Reflecting on the origins and influences shaping one's behavior and mindset.
Oh isn't it a game
Characterizing life as a game, emphasizing its unpredictable and challenging aspects.
To be aching for vacation
Expressing a desire for a break or escape, possibly from routine or responsibilities.
But not know what I'm running from
Acknowledging a lack of clarity about personal motivations and the need for introspection.
Oh isn't it a shame
Commenting on the regrettable conformity to societal norms and expectations.
To behave all the same
Expressing fear about the potential consequences of conforming too much.
I'm afraid of what we might become
Speculating on the potential negative outcomes of societal behavior.
Maybe we'll face a child or act like one
Considering the possibility of facing the consequences of one's actions in a childlike manner.
Maybe we'll face a child or act like one
Repeating the idea of facing consequences with childlike innocence or behavior.
Oh no yesterday is gone
Reiterating the irreversible nature of the past and the need for resilience.
It's been a long week for me to be strong
Reemphasizing the challenges faced and the necessity of being strong.
Well maybe tomorrow so it goes
Echoing the uncertainty about the future and the transient nature of life.
If I'm not high then I'm way too low
Highlighting the reliance on altered states for emotional balance when not in a positive state.
